PBXtech.info - View Single Post - Wiring a Partner System

We're currently looking for a new phone system for our small insurance agency - 4 incoming CO lines, 8 phones. As the IT guy for the agency, I'd like to take on the task of installing the Partner ACS myself (the local teclo charges nearly $700, and only installs Nortel equip). Our office already is wired with rj-11 terminations at the desks. Does the Partner use rj-45 or 11 to connect the sets to the KSU? Our voice drops wire down to a Siemon patch block, then to Amphernol connectors to the old Vodavi. Should I have the telco keep the existing 2-pair wiring in place & take off the amphernol connectors and put on rj-11s from the extensions to connect to the new Parter? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew
